Issue Subscribing to/Receiving Otto Event Posted from IntentService
android, otto
Solution
Aside from the fact this implementation isn't a Singleton, when getting this error, you can use the threadEnforcer.ANY option in the constructor:
private static final Bus BUS = new Bus(ThreadEnforcer.ANY);
Problem
I seem to be having one of two issues here. Either an error like: ``` java.lang.IllegalStateException: Event bus [Bus "default"] accessed from non-main thread Looper ``` Or, if I've managed to "address" that, I simply never receive the event in my subscriber. Currently, I have a class, cobbled from a few sources, sub-classing Bus: ``` public class MainThreadBus extends Bus { private static Bus _bus; private Handler _handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()); public MainThreadBus() { if (_bus == null) { _bus = new Bus(); } } @Override public void register(Object obj) { _bus.register(obj); } @Override public void unregister(Object obj) { _bus.unregister(obj); } @Override public void post(final Object event) { if (Looper.myLooper() == Looper.getMainLooper()) { _bus.post(event); } else { _handler.post(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { _bus.post(event); } }); } } } ``` Which is used in an Activity like this: ``` @Subscribe public void requestProgressAvailable(RESTRequestProgress progress) { processProgress(progress); } @Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); _bus = new MainThreadBus(); _bus.register(this); } @Override protected void onPause() { super.onPause(); _bus = new MainThreadBus(); _bus.unregister(this); } ``` And publishing from an IntentService like this: ``` _bus = new MainThreadBus(); _bus.post(request.createRESTRequestProgress(RESTRequest.STATUS_STARTED)); ``` And the messages are not received. An alternate configuration had me receiving the thread error, so I'm going with this, for now. So, what am I missing, or doing wrong? EDIT: Thanks to Andy below for pointing out that my code wasn't acting as I thought it was. The code above now reflects modifications based on that feedback.
